Removed the small muffler!!!! Car sounds beastly
#201
i guess each car has a slight personality...
i removed both today, and it changed absolutely nothing. it sounds bone stock
yea it was only 45 bucks, but all i gained from that experience is a new shiny pipe in place of the dirty resonators and some knowledge.
i think the only way to see any type of immediate notice of change is to pay for better mufflers or go with bigger piping from the front... this was a waste of 2 tanks of premium gas to burn.

i call ....dude i jus took the mid muffler in the back off and it sounded good enough....got a nice and drone sound out of it...remember we dont have a 350Z or Ferrari....u could go with the Dynomax Resonator...give it a lil bit becuz after a while mine got a lil louder and sufficient enough...

even my girl says theres nothing from the outside..
and to earlier.... im sure i would get tired of those straight pipes... but pulling people over here for exhaust definately wont be happening soon. especially when the cops get exhaust work done at one of the local shops on their bikes.. its the loudest sh*t on the planet lol

i can take pictures... theyre both still in the trunk

if so it'll have to be a sunday project up on the wheel stands because of the bumper removal
#206
any chance you can explain it to me?
people put a resonator on their car to make it sound louder?
i just never understood how that worked...
#207
20 bucks says its a o2 sensor it probably got ripped out when the exhaust fell but yea dont say you knew you shouldnt have done it i have done it personally so have alot of other guys on AZ you just went to a shop that had some asshole that has no idea what he was doin. there is no possible way to throw a code with just deleating resonators.
As far as saying I shouldn't have done it...well I say that mainly because this wasn't something that was necessary (removing the muffler) but I spent money on it (especially since my funds are low). The sound is ok; it's not too in your face but if I ever decide to hook the sounds up in this car, I'm gonna have to reinstall the muffler. I'd rather have music than a loud exhaust.
#209
Honestly I dont know the OP had videos i asked him what he had and I liked how it sounded so i was like hmmm maybe i should do that. I want my car to sound like a G35 but now im kind of thinking maybe i should get Ws2 mufflers
#210
im gonna wait a couple weeks.. but i still dont see how it gets louder over time...
#211
sorry for the mutliple post... stupid edit dissapears after 1 minute..
here's my exhaust note video... and the camera has good sound quality.. so this IS what it sounds like... all that sound is coming from the front =/

Make sure you don't have any leaks but in that case your exhaust would probably sound louder. All a muffler is is just something that does destructive interference so that sound waves cancel out. If you're not getting sound something else may going on that is unknowingly doing the interference. Is the pipe diameter the same as the pipe on the car?
#221
I was under the impression you didn't get any bass but I just listened to yours; mine doesn't sound much different. To me the sound is very noticeable compared to the sound made with the mid-muffler installed. You must be going for something more.
#222
even the guy who did the work laughed after backing it off the rack... he said sorry it did nothing
its fine... it will make a big difference when i get around to changing the rear mufflers...
#225
the only change i got in my car is a small hum on ignition only when its cold... after the car is started. the sound never comes back.
oh and i got some pretty silver piping under the car.
im just goin with a custom cat back.

Yup, except that's where my tach usually falls in, and maybe the fact that it's city-driving is what is "destroying" it for me; the constant acceleration & deceleration vs. the highway-induced monotone.
#229
i'd post a video of me starting from zero and slowly accelerating, but you wont hear anything..
the video i posted is just a few taps on the gas from a low idle... even if the range of sound is that small.. you would notice some bass.. i have none.
i guess some people hear things others dont..
or maybe if you want to hear it you will. i guess i was just expecting a difference seeing how they are both there to quiet the exhaust.
#230
mine sounds like shit now. but thats because my mufflers are done. so if you did the mod and you dont have any sound different. chances are your mufflers are on their way out and you will get rasp very soon.
ONLY REMOVE THE MID MUFFLER. DO NOT REMOVE THE APPLE JUICE CAN

#231
shouldnt it be the opposite?
#232
i removed both and it works
#233
i thought most people remove the apple juice can, then if they want it louder they remove the bigger one? why are you saying not to remove the apple juice looking one..
i have comptech axlebacks.. i'm sort of satisfied, but not quite yet. i want more of a throaty sound.. i was thinking of doing 2.5" piping from the cat back and removing the apple juice resonator and leaving the big one in.. what do you think? i don't want to remove both because of fear of having rasp. or should i remove the large one and keep the apple juice on in?

i'd like to add i wouldn't want it to get crazy annoying loud inside the car either like kris was mentioning.. so i don't know.. all i know is i want my exhaust to sound more throaty without having unbearable drone in the car
all i have right now is comptech axlebacks and a aem intake, i plan on doing headers in the summer
